-for Jessica Care Moore-

   your words
   upon release
   from your pen
   or your lips
   inspire my
   release of
   literary poetic
   communcation
   no matter
   what the
   topic may be
   your words
   glide through
   the air like
   bird's wings
   in flight
   stretched far
   and wide
   riding against
   the clouds
   your words
   make my
   words stand
   up straight
   on the page
   and salute
